Well, the USA is headed into a deep recession. No-one seems to be changing right now, but we just hit $110 gal/barrel. It is going to go way higher as India and China's economies increase, and the dollar falls. At least 1/2 of the vehicles I see passing me on my bike commute are full size pickup trucks, and ginormous SUV's with one person (on their cell phone). I only wish gas gets to $7 a gallon as it is in Europe, only then will the people of the US get out of their inefficient vehicles and drive things that make sense. I'm not saying everyone has to ride a bike (but that would be nice), but it seems that the people that are screaming about the $3.25 per/gal, are the ones with the trucks, and aren't on the highest end of the socioeconomic scale.
